Haramaki Love

While in Japan, Julia discovered haramaki belly bands. The word haramaki refers to what was historically a Samurai armor which gradually evolved into a special tubular garment that is worn around the midsection of the body as a belly warmer! Upon returning to Montreal, she decided to create her own bands and Haramaki Love, a line made in Montreal, was born.

The stretchy fabric bands make wonderful layering pieces and they also happen to be good for you! I am especially fond of the maternity line because the bands can "fill in the gap" when clothing starts to get too small.
